Today I celebrate my 1year anniversary in Galts Gulch. I am truly thankful to all the members of
this forum. This past year on this forum I have learned many things. The intelligence , the character traits , the morals, the gracious behavior is part of how I would describe you folks. I have developed some very valued friendships and am grateful. Thinking about you all I am reminded of Dagny and how she felt when she crash landed in the gulch and had dinner at Midas Mulligans home and was surrounded by the producers. I truly feel that here.
A special thanks to the creators of this forum , to Allosaur, Herb, Nickursis, OldUglyCarl, ObjectiveAnalyst, Blarman , MichaelArrethum (where ever you are), and all the rest to many to name!
I wish you all a very healthy happy prosperous New year! Thanks again.

          "We do not learn for school, but for life".
          I was just talking to my bride of 37 years last night at the dinner table about this. That I am compelled to research and try to understand issues. That is strange because it has happened one other time this week when our conversation was rehashed in the gulch the next day. that was about Hats of all things and we didn't know what they were called. Herb7734 then posted to me about Trump sporting a new buzz cut and wearing a Homburg hat.

            Dobrien,
            One of the best things about this site is the aid it gives me in my quest for wisdom and to never let a day pass without learning something new.
            A day without learning, is a day without living.
            Regards,
            O.A.

      Hi Maree,
      Snooping around the gulch . I believe you are in New Zealand. What a beautiful country and I look forward to further interaction with you. I live for the present and hope the present carries me to a long future but I don't count on it.
      Have an awesome day.
      DOB

            Kapai!
            This land was something of a gulch to the first people here. Although many wrongs were done by subsequent gulchers crash landing and staying; respecting our first people starts with Te reo and tikanga - the language and culture.
            And those who are not moochers are outstanding people.

            A couple of weeks ago i was lucky to stay on Maori land for 3 nights. Unfelled forest, birdsong, fish from the river, sun from 5:30am to 10pm 2 hours by jetboat to get there.
            Not for the fainthearted or those who insist on comforts ha ha.
            Check out wairaurahiri jetboat. !
            Happy 1st birthday Dob

              Hold on to your hat! Those jet boats would be fun to drive, but riding is a bit scary.
              I have read about the Rapa Nui disaster from the discoverers . Devastating health consequences to the welcoming " first people".
              Also ...Aphrodite's Island the European discovery of Tahiti. The first discoverers from euro were for the most part arrogant , unethical , privileged, slobs. The Tahitians were fascinating wonderful hosts as they thought the "rudderless ships" with the bright red uniforms of the Brits were the gods returning.

              If there is a good book of New Zealand's past please let me know.

    Just one year? Feels longer.
    Our Compass Lake, FL, connection was quite a surprise.
    Just checked myself out. Been in the Gulch two years and eleven months.
    Don't know the exact date for my anniversary.
    Oh, by the way, congratulations for yours. Cough! Cough!
